"Kayachev’s work will be of appeal to a wide range of audiences:
he provides a translation as well as introduction and commentary
to his text, and a valuable bibliography. The translation is deliberately
literal and devoid of any artistic pretense; Kayachev notes that
its principal function is to tell the reader how he interpreted a
given passage. Its inclusion nevertheless allows this book to be
of use even to a Latinless readership, even if specialists will constitute
the principal audience. I might also note the Classical Press of
Wales produces unfailingly beautiful books of high printing standards
and quality of binding: these are virtues one notes and appreciates
given the increasing rarity "Lee Fratantuono, |
